Welcome to c/science_memes @ Mander.xyz!

A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.

Rules

  1. Don't throw mud. Behave like an intellectual and remember the human.
  2. Keep it rooted (on topic).
  3. No spam.
  4. Infographics welcome, get schooled.

This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.

What happens if you try to cut a photon in half with a knife?

The edge of a knife has to be thinner than the thing it's cutting, and we haven't found anything thinner than a photon

By that implication it's fundamentally impossible for anyone to see it.

I've found plenty of things thinner than photons, it's just that the photons they're thinner than are extremely low energy.
